              Distributions are objects, which are constructed from whatever parameters
              the distribution may have.
            </li>

              Member functions allow you to retrieve the parameters of a distribution.
            </li>

              Generic non-member functions provide access to the properties that
              are common to all the distributions (PDF, CDF, quantile etc).

<li class="listitem">
              Complements of probabilities are calculated by wrapping the function's
              arguments in a call to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">complement</span><span class="special">(...)</span></code>.
            </li>
<li class="listitem">
              Functions that accept a probability can accept a complement of the
              probability as well, by wrapping the function's arguments in a call
              to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">complement</span><span class="special">(...)</span></code>.
            </li>
<li class="listitem">
              Static member functions allow the parameters of a distribution to be
              found from other information.
